Hello! Welcome to Gala 2020, which is happening right here on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people. This gala is very different from galas past. This year we are presenting “Gala: Deconstructed.” Goodies. Adventures. Libations. Auction. L’idée est née de notre amour et de notre engagement, ceux de l’équipe de Garde-rivière et de nos supporters, envers le bassin versant et les gens qui y vivent; du désir collectif de rester en contact tout en privilégiant la sécurité de tous et de toutes. L’édition 2020 du Gala est une combinaison de livraisons spéciales, de produits soigneusement choisis, de conseils privilégiés sur des endroits à découvrir cet été et bien davantage! I love the water and I love this territory. I love what happens when great Photo: Fangliang Xu people come together with a common purpose, and I love the work we do at Ottawa Riverkeeper. My connection to this place runs deep and strong. I grew up here paddling, swimming and gathering rocks, and I’ve really never stopped. “As all canoers know, In 2019, I attended my first Riverkeeper Gala and felt immediately at home. Non seulement j’y ai rencontré des ami(e)s d’enfance et d’ancien(ne)s collègues sometimes we need to du gouvernement, mais aussi des dirigeant(e)s des Premières Nations avec qui j’avais déjà travaillé, et des aîné(e)s et des enseignant(e)s du territoire algonquin do a cross bow draw and anishinabe, d’où vient la famille de mon père. J’avais très hâte d’être l’hôtesse de mon premier Gala en tant que Garde-rivière. find new directions.” I couldn’t wait to connect with you in person, but as all canoers know, sometimes we need to do a cross bow draw and find new directions. Necessity is the mother of invention and Gala: Deconstructed is the innovative result! Migwech — thank you — to all our sponsors and supporters who continue to support our important work caring for the Ottawa River watershed. Enjoy the stories, research and photos in the pages that follow, all of which show our connection to water that sustains us.

Quatre juges se sont retournées aux auditions à l’aveugle, suivis des duels, chants de bataille, quarts de finale, demi-finales, finale; un parcours complet attendait l'artiste originaire de Fort-Coulonge. Pour une première fois dans l’histoire de l’émission, la finale était 100% féminine et l’aventure de Cahill s’est terminée le 18 octobre. Malgré le soutien de la population, l’artiste locale n’a finalement pas pu remporter la dernière étape de la compétition. L’émission lui a donné la chance de travailler aux côtés de talentueux artistes, de Ginette Reno à Tyler Shaw, sans bien sûr oublier qu’elle a pu tout au long de l’aventure compter sur les conseils de son coach, Marc Dupré. Cette expérience lui aura aussi permis de se retrouver sur l’album La Voix chante. Pour Mme Cahill, La Voix était l’occasion de prouver à ses filles qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour accomplir ses rêves.

  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet.
